St Bartholomew

Apocolypse 21:9-14; Ps 145; John 1:45-51

At prayer under a tree

What was going through Bartholomew/Nathanael’s mind that Jesus knew? A plea to be able to serve the Messiah? Bartholomew becomes one of the Twelve Apostles – a foundation stone of the holy city which is the Church. Let us, with him, proclaim the Lord Jesus as the Son of God, the King of Israel; and may our proclamation be by words and deeds.
